LaGuardia Community College

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is set to deliver one of the most important speeches of his young administration on Monday.

De Blasio will give the State of the City, the mayoral equivalent of the President's State of the Union, at LaGuardia Community College in Queens. It will be his most closely watched speech since his inauguration address on New Year's Day.

He is expected to outline his vision for the city and offer a glimpse into his signature goal of fighting the city's widening income inequality gap.
